In my short time writing for this site I have noticed that there are lots of concerns at point guard. As a fan of the team I liked Raymond Felton and was sad to see him go; he was not great, but he was good enough.
I’ve noticed that many of you that participate in the forums are skeptical of D.J. Augustin; having Shaun Livingston as his back-up does not help either. The bad thing is that the Bobcats are within reach of becoming a perennial playoff contender if the right …

When you talk about the Charlotte Bobcats “to do list” this offseason one of the main topics that comes up is the free agent status of point guard Raymond Felton. A Tarheel that was selected fifth overall by the Bobcats and has played his entire career in Charlotte, is an unrestricted free agent and the front office is still trying to decide if they want Felton on that “to do list” of things to get done.
Felton’s career as a Bobcat has been up and down but over the past couple …

Welcome to the third edition of the report card series. Last time we went through Raymond Felton’s season, so I figured today would be a good time to give you DJ Augustin’s portion.

Welcome back to our report card series. In the first part, I gave a breakdown of the entire team over the course of this past season. Today and over the next month, I’m going to delve into the individual performances for just about everyone you know on the Bobcats payroll. Our first of those is Charlotte’s embattled hometown boy, Raymond Felton.

Now that the Bobcats are officially in the offseason, it’s time to grade how they did. Over the next month, I’ll be giving every player and select non-players their grades for the season. But I’ll start with a general report card for the entire team. Enjoy!

In baseball, there’s a man named Jack McKeon. He’s known in baseball circles as “Trader Jack.” He’s a retired manager who is the oldest manager to win a World Series. But what does all this have to do with the Bobcats? Well, Trader Jack is very similar to Michael Jordan.

If you had any question how well liked young Stephen Curry is in the Queen City, then that was certainly answered tonight. Returning home to Charlotte as a Golden State Warrior, the rookie received a standing ovation in player introductions and was cheered nearly every time he touched the ball. However, Gerald Wallace, DJ Augustin, and Boris Diaw helped the Charlotte Bobcats ruin his trip home, winning 101-90.

What an eventful 24 hours for Bobcats fans. First, Captain Jack and crew won an exciting, hard fought game over a young Memphis Grizzlies squad 93-89. Then, in the early morning hours we found out that UNC and NBA legend and current co-owner Michael Jordan will become the next controlling owner of the Bobcats, succeeding Robert Johnson.

The Bobcats coughed up a 16 point comeback to lose in overtime, 106-95

The Bobcats beat the Heat Saturday afternoon behind 35 points and 8 rebounds from Stephen Jackson. This was the first road win for the Cats since November 28 when they got a win against the gun toting Wizards. This afternoon they have a chance to get a 2nd straight road win, If they get it will make one fan in particular very, very happy.
There were several positives to take from this game:

DJ Augustin shot the ball very well and played with a lot of confidence
Derrick Brown had a strong 2nd …

Updates from the first three preseason games, why you can’t listen to the games online at WFNZ.com, and more!

At first glance Terrence Williams seems like he would be a perfect pick at #12 for the Bobcats in the upcoming draft. The  Bobcats are looking at SG depth to backup or challenge Raja Bell, Williams has legit SG size at 6′6″ & 1/4 in shoes, he plays excellent defense, he fills out the stat sheet and as you can see from the video below, he is an elite athlete.

The big negative that jumps out at me with T-Will is his shooting. He shot 43.1% from the field last season …

After watching this season, and listening to some very rare compliments from the veteran coach who is generally ruthless with his point guards, it is hard to think that Ray isn’t this team’s Point man for the forseeable future. This is not only based on his play, but the way Augustin was used as well.

I ran across this video today on Youtube and thought that you guys might like it. The music is NSFW because of language ( it could be NSFW because of lack of music quality. In my opinion 97% of hip-hop has been crap since the mid-90’s… But that’s a rant for another day and another time ).
Enjoy!
